Video Comparer
Compare two videos to analyze compression results or quality differences — generate an interactive HTML report with PSNR/SSIM metrics and frame-by-frame visual comparisons.
"Does this compression look worse?" is impossible to answer by eye alone. This playbook quantifies it with PSNR/SSIM and a side-by-side frame report.
Who it's for: video engineers, content creators, media teams
Example
"Compare my original and compressed video" → An interactive HTML report with PSNR/SSIM metrics and frame-by-frame visual diffs
